HEAD Extreme TEAM 2026

Introducing the Extreme Team 2026! Like the previous generation, this racquet is perfect for dedicated beginners and early intermediate players. It should also work well for the savvy doubles veteran looking for an ultra-light option. Unlike its more demanding siblings, the Extreme MP and Pro, this version offers a more forgiving 105in² head, ensuring that comfort and performance remain high even when contact is less than perfect. It's also extremely fast, which translates into user-friendly mobility on groundstrokes and quick handling at net. For 2026, Head adds Hy-Bor to the layup, a material technology that uses compression-resistant boron fibers in the shaft to improve stability and energy transfer (think power). Auxetic 2 in the yoke and handle further enhances the feel and response. This model also features Graphene Inside, reinforcing the frame in key areas for added power and stability. Additional features include Spin Grommets, which enable greater string movement for increased snapback, and a Spin Shaft, which increases torsional stability for less frame wobble on off-center impact. Ultimately, with some nice updates to the feel and response, this remains a great option for those who want a very speedy and spin-friendly racquet with effortless power.
